Guyana Christian University graduates ten preacher students

LETHEM, Guyana (BNc) — Graduation ceremonies were held July 13, for ten graduating students of Guyana Christian University, Lethem, Guyana. Tom Holland, President of GCU, traveled to Guyana and delivered the commencement address.

Approximately 75 were in attendance for the graduation ceremony and the reception for the graduates, family and friends.

A dinner was held at Takuto Suites Guest House to honor the graduates and wives. Held by candle light, it provided a beautiful setting brought on my happenstance. The fuel truck making a delivery to power the generators throughout Lethem became stuck on the 300 mile dirt road from Georgetown to Lethem. It was unable to make the delivery; therefore the dinner was held by candlelight.
